Hey hey hey hey There'll be food on the table tonight
DmFDmGDmAm
Hey hey hey hey There'll be pay in your pocket tonight
GCAm
My gut is wrenched out it is crunched up and broken
CAm
My life that is lived is no more than token
FGAm
Who'll strike the flint up on the stone and tell me why
BdimCAm
If I yell out at night there's a reply of blue silence
CAm
The Screen is no comfort I can't speak my sentence
FGAm
They blew the lights at heaven's gate and I don't know why
Chorus:
AmDmFDmG
But if I work all day on the blue sky mine
GDmAmFC
There'll be food on the table to night
CDmFDmG
Still I walk up and down on the blue sky mine
GDmAmFG
There'lll be pay in your pocket tonight
Verse:
CAm
The candy store pauupers lie to share holders
CAm
They're crossing their fingers they pay the truth makers
FGAm
The balance sheet is breaking up the sky
BdimCAm
So I'm caught at junction still waiting for medicine
CAm
The sweat of my brow keeps on feeding the engine
FGAm
Hope the crumbs in my pcket can keep me for another night

And if the blue sky mining company won't come to my rescue

If the sugar refinning company won't save me

Who's gonna save me
AmC
Who's gonna save me
AmC
Who's gonna save me
Chorus:
CDmFDmG
But if I work all day on the blue sky mine
GDmAmF
There'll be food on the table to night
CDmFDmG
And is I walk up and down on the blue sky mine
GDmAmF
There'll be pay in your pocket tonight
CDmFDmG
And some have sailed from a distant shore
GDmAmFC
And the company takes what the company wants
DmFDmGDmAmFG
And nothing as precious as the hole in the ground
